Coastal Kayaking

This class is similar to the recreational kayaking class but in sea kayaks which are longer and move faster over the water. We will introduce you to the sport of kayaking and the equipment and outfitting involved in getting started. Participants will learn the basics of kayaking strokes, such as forward, back, sweep and draws. You will also practice rescue techniques. Once the class has the strokes down time will be spent exploring the lake. Sea kayaks are used for longer expeditions; we will cover how to outfit these boats with equipment for multi day expeditions.

The cost is $15.00 and includes all equipment, instruction, and transportation from the Student Union.
